     My family DEVOURED this dish. My kids are always hesitant to try new things but their plates were empty before I barely got started with my own meal. My husband ranted and raved and wants it again this week. It's certainly a keeper!! Thanks for posting!! - 1/2/10

     This recipe is awesome!! We added two chopped up cameo apples to the sweet potatoes. Sprinkled one packet of splenda and a little cinnamon on top. YUMMMYYYY Moistest chops ever. Thanks mom - 3/31/10

     I followed the directions and cooked this on low for 7 hours. The sweet potatoes were great, but the pork chops were way overcooked and dried out by then. The meat was inedible. This might have been delicious if it were cooked a few hours less. - 2/14/10

    I'm sorry! I have an older model of slow cooker. If yours is newer you may have to cook it low for less time.

     Very yummy! I added some brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg on the sweet potatoes, and they were perfect! The meat was a bit dry, next time I will cook on low for 8 hours, and it should take care of that minor problem! All in all, a great recipe! - 5/24/10

     I must've done something wrong. I followed the directions to the letter and it turned out very watery. The meat is delicious, very tender, and the sweet potatoes are good, but the cranberry flavor got lost in all of the juice. Next time I'll try it in the oven and see if it works better. - 2/10/11

     My dad does not like pork chops and I don't like sweet potatoes but we tried it anyway...this was DELICIOUS! I spiced the pork w/ thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. I coated the sweet potatoes in a little brown sugar and cinnamon...it was fantastic! Will def. make again! - 12/11/11

     i made this for dinner, the meat was delicious!! but we did not like the way the cranberries made the sweet potatoes taste (that was not appetizing but i might make it again without the potatoes) - 5/6/08

     So very easy and nutritious. I made my own cranberry sauce and used fresh sweet potatoes, because it was what I had. Just two of us in my household so this will make several meals. Great deal! - 10/7/16
